Short Term Investment Options
Posted on 6/21/25 at 7:08 am

What would y’all recommend?
I have about $60-80k that I’m looking to invest for a 6-8 month period.
It seems the short term CD rates are comparable to a HYA.
My current plan is to park 90% of it in whichever option has the better rate, CD or HYA.
Then put the other 10% in the stock market.
ETA: Hadn’t had my second cup of coffee for the morning. Updated to 10% going in stocks.

How flexible do you need the money? CDs will give higher interest but basically to get it your locked in for 6 months.

Do not put short term investments into the market baw. If you need that money in 6 months and it goes down 10% after 2 months, you’re gonna panic
